I haven’t seen one for sale for ages bar the blue one that’s been nailed to a dealer forecourt for an age. And now 2 up for sale at the same time.
One Honda car in Chrome orange on eBay and a lazer blue K Series one on PH. Both £27k, which on back of general opinion as to current values, and prices of Elise creeping over £20k for the best Honda cars at the minute, they looked to my eye a bargain for either. But who knows!
Add into the mix is an Elise rebodied as an Exige but with an Audi lump on PH at £35k, and the market gets ever weirder.
The laser blue one on PH has been for sale before, it’s been in storage and it’s a strange story from memory. Selling on behalf of friend etc. Something didn’t add up! The chrome orange one on eBay looks ok but the advert is a bit vague and agreed the rear lights are hideous! Things are usually cheap for a reason!
My Man maths says I can buy it, down sides I have not got anywhere to store it, also I will have to sell the S2 to fund it, big problem is the lack of heritage of it being an original S1 so the price seems very strong, i do know how good the car is likely to be and yes it would cost more than that price to build, but it is still hard to get over especially when the orange one is £27k!
I think you’ve got an engine converted S1 itch you need to scratch Ade. I would not be put off by the car not being an original Exige. The most important part of tge cars provenance is that it used to be Wayne’s car.
Not been for a nose, but I have seen it previously and before this refresh it was a very good car indeed, just can’t make the finances work or it would be mine already, unless someone wants mine as it stands? I’d have to break it up and sell it, this would take too long with no guarantee of getting the cash and securing the car I want
